I just ordered my Wire and Chain from Edson, for my 1984 e38. As mentioned above I have a Yacht Specialties pedestal. Currently I have 2 feet of #50 Chain and about 5 feet of wire on each side (I ordered 9 feet for each side, just in case I measured wrong). Edson uses a different way of connecting the chain to wire then YS did, this may be a non issue but I paid extra to have Edson do the swage fitting like YS. This ended up being stupid expensive, about $500, so maybe consider removing and bringing to a local rigger to duplicate.
